Fall Bucket List Update

October 28, 2015 By Shann 88 Comments

Fall Bucket List

Since it’s almost Halloween, and the Fall is going by super fast (almost as fast as the summer!) I thought I’d check in and see how we’re doing with our Fall Bucket List.

Do you remember what was on it? Yeah. Me neither. Let’s take a look.

Fall Bucket List

Fall Bucket List

  1. Look and collect colored leaves at a State Park  

  2. Celebrate Family Birthdays

  3. Go to a Pumpkin Farm and get a Pumpkin or Go Apple Picking at an Orchard

  4. Visit the Zoo a couple more times 

  5. Go Trick or Treating! 

  6. Find/make and wear a costume myself this year.

Here are the wins so far…

Bucket List Wins

We celebrated my oldest Son’s 6th Birthday. If somehow you missed those posts, you can see them HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE. Hint. If you want to see me in a Gold Bikini, you’ll check them out. (I’m totally kidding….just checking to see if my husband is reading this.) It was Star Wars inspired, so there is a gold bikini in the decorations.

We also went to a Pumpkin Farm where the kids got to ride a train, pick a pumpkin, go on a hay ride, bounce in a Jumpy house, AND go Trick or Treating.

The twins have been to the zoo a few times with Grandpa, and my oldest got to go on another train with his other Grandparents.  I’ve got all of our costumes ready for this weekend too! We’ll be going to a Halloween Party, then Trick or Treating.

The only thing we haven’t done is gone to a State Park or an Apple Orchard (although both Grandparents have brought us Apples from orchards and neighbors.)

I think we’ve done pretty good so far, and Fall isn’t over yet!!!

I’m hoping to do some kind of Fall craft with the kids, like those cool leaf etchings I’ve seen in a few posts. The twins made some awesome Vampire hand prints in Childcare the other day, and my oldest has a Harvest Party coming up at school later this week. Lots of Fall fun to be had by all.  Let’s just hope the weather stays nice for a few more weeks…at least.

Are you enjoying your Fall? Did you make a Fall Bucket List? What have you checked off so far?

    So fun! This fall has totally flown by and I don’t even have a pumpkin yet! Or a costume… haha I kind of feel like I’m skipping Halloween this year. Usually we have a friend’s party to go to each year, but they just had a baby and we didn’t really seek out other plans. Oh well. I at least have LOTS of candy to hand out 🙂

    The one thing I really wanted to do this month I have failed at doing. That was visiting a pumpkin patch. Due to being busy and crazy weather I won’t be able to go this year. The boys costumes are adorable! I said that I was going to dress up for Halloween this year but I doubt I will.

    My favorite things about fall are going to haunted houses, watching scary movies and going to the pumpkin patch. I’m really sad too because we have a pumpkin patch close by, but I haven’t had the chance to make it there this year and they’ve already closed for the year 🙁

    We visited a pumpkin patch! And now that our Texas weather is cooler, we have talked about camping in a state park. And I did make my Halloween costume, but I bought the kids’ costumes. Once our leaves finally change colors, we’ll have to collect leaves too. I want to make a leaf mural! So, I’m kinda close to your bucket list! Well, two things at least. (=
